Love seeing Muni and BART with the highest rail ridership growth in the US. If we pass @connectbayarea.bsky.social measure, ridership growth will continue. If we don’t, service will be slashed and ridership will plummet - Bay Area way of life and economy will crumble. We must pass this measure!

Early 2026 transit data is in today, & SF is seeing a mini rail boom with Muni ridership up 15% & BART ridership up 12% compared to last year SEPTA (Philly, 9.2%) and WMATA (DC, +6.8%) are also seeing strong growth, while the MBTA (Boston) & MTS (San Diego) are losing riders🧵

Finally an article makes the impact of the @connectbayarea.bsky.social measure failing clear - after closing some stations BART would likely shut down ALL service within a couple of years. We must pass this measure. It's an existential crisis not just for BART but for the Bay Area we know and love.

Another day, another signature gathered to save transit! @connectbayarea.bsky.social

Loved joining El Cerrito/Richmond Annex Walk & Roll last night to gather signatures for the @connectbayarea.bsky.social campaign at El Cerrito Plaza BART. Lots of BART riders had signed already and many who hadn’t were eager to sign. Want to help to save transit? Volunteer: luma.com/connectbayarea

It's not too late to come help save public transit tomorrow by gathering signatures at No Kings! With nearly 200 RSVPs across the Bay Area, tomorrow may be the largest one-day advocate signature collection effort for public transit ever assembled. luma.com/connectbayar...

If the regional transit measure doesn’t qualify and then pass at the ballot this November, BART will be facing the feared ‘transit death spiral’. missionlocal.org/2026/03/bart...

BART: The worst-case scenarios are actually worse than you’ve heard

If voters spurn a November revenue measure, the biggest question isn't what stations BART may close. It's if BART will continue to exist, full-stop.

Bay Area transit is at a crossroads. SB 63 aims to secure $1B yearly to prevent major service cuts, but debate continues over new taxes vs efficiency. With 186,000+ signatures needed by June 3, the debate is clear: act now, or risk a system many rely on. www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco...

Connect Bay Area organizers pushing for sales tax to fund public transit

The solution proponents hope to put before voters is $1 billion in yearly funding for public transit, through a half-cent sales tax in Alameda, Contra Costa, San Mateo, and Santa Clara Counties, and a one-cent sales tax in San Francisco.

BART could close these 15 stations if new funding isn't secured

BART officials warn that without a new revenue source, the agency may be forced to close 15 of its stations and reduce train frequency.

The @sfchronicle.com reports that BART’s cost-cutting plan risks a ‘death spiral’ that could end all train service if voters decline to fund public transit via the Connect Bay Area ballot measure in November. Read the full article: www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

BART’s cost-cutting plan risks a ‘death spiral’ that could end all train service

Hidden deep in the contingency plan to slash costs at BART if voters decline to bail out the rail agency is an all-out nuclear scenario called Phase 3: Shut the rail system down altogether.
